NYC is considering 18 bills targeting e-bikes. No bills seem to care about the massive monster truck lifted SUVs.
Miser@misernyc.bsky.social · 4h agoThe recent hysteria over bike and ebike regulation is infuriating, dumb, and counter-productive.
This was a hilarious read and I especially relate to the Ohio diaspora bit.

Wishing AIPAC a very blow all their money on losing primaries
Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%
I’ve been in my novel reading era for about two months now and so far Tolkien is the least interesting author I’ve read. I did not understand the LOTR hype when the movies came out in the 00s and I’m coming to the conclusion that 16 year old me was correct in that impression.

These people literally do not believe in America. "Reining in the president" is literally the fucking job of Congress. The people who founded America were extremely clear about that!

They know voters hate this shit. So they wait until Blanche has the votes for Collins to come out against him. So she can claim to be a moderate. So she gets reelected. So she can spend the next two years voting for more Todd Blanches.
Collins Watch@collinswatch.bsky.social · yesterdaySusan comes out against Todd Blanche now that he's got the votes. So tiresome. (We called it: tinyurl.com/3bepafkz) #MEpolitics
I considered getting my education degree in the past, as I think I would've enjoyed teaching math & I've been well-reviewed as a sports coach & as an ESL teacher, but I just wouldn't feel safe working in youth education because of stuff like this.
Aubrey Gilleran@aubreygilleran.bsky.social · 23h agoIt's pretty outrageous that the GOP Senate candidate is smearing a trans public school teacher in Wake County as a predator (and also sharing a picture of her from her social media where she is doing literally nothing but existing).
If you live in NYC call your council member and tell them to shove these bills up their asses. If they’re serious about safety they should be targeting SUVs and other automobiles. E-bikes have more of a right to city streets than cars.

School is also 95% just a warehouse for kids so their parents can go to work.
Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · yesterdayIn a college sociology class in the late 1980s I was assigned a Marxist analysis of education that argued that the US education system is designed primarily to produce efficient workers for the labor market. And now Trump’s Department of Education is just tweeting it out.
You can never just move on from this, even after he's gone. Without punishment and ostracism for everyone who has participated in his crime spree over the last 18 months you can forget it- we're all just treading water until the next tyrant

They're probably hoping you won't hear about this. But tomorrow in TX, Tarrant County officials meet to vote on a GOP plan to cut almost HALF of Election Day voting locations, plus 8 early voting locations, some of them on campuses. Not hard to guess why. fortworthreport.org/2026/07/30/t...

Finished The Shining last night and they really should let another director take a whack at it. I agree with King that Kubrick took a lot of liberties with the plot. Totally different climax that I think contemporary horror directors could nail pretty well.
90s era fairness doctrine BS is the only reason right wing views have any purchase. They can’t compete in the marketplace of ideas so they have to buy out platforms and goose the algorithms themselves.

Even if involved in narcotrafficking, this would be illegal. Due process.
CNN@cnn.com · 2d agoThe US military’s strikes on alleged drug boats have likely illegally killed “individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,” Sen. Tim Kaine told the White House, following “a careful review” of classified information he has seen so far.
Obviously he has no compunction about making shit up himself, but I do sincerely wonder how much of his understanding of the world is based on subordinates sending him AI imagery he thinks is real.
